Heres a very basic KS0108 driver that uses native code to speed up the screen update. A little video of the kind of performance i got out of it: quality of the video isnt the best. This is using a framebuffer (2k of ram used!) method to keep things simple and get the best speed, it could be modified to be do a read/modify/write method. Its also using a lot of IO, i wired up the LCD as per an article i found for the arduino http://www.arduino.c...Code/GLCDks0108

Very nice! Writing code for one of these was about 3rd on my todo list, so i guess i dont need to worry about that any more! Thanks!

Very cool. I have a couple of these LCDs (£3 from boot sale!) just never had the b@lls to write any code for them :)

Thanks for the driver. It is what I have been searching for. This is my first project with .NET Micro Framework and unfortunately I couldn't get this to work with just the readme guidance.

"put the OpenLabs.NETMF.Hardware.LCD folder in the DeviceCode\Interop\ folder"
C:\MicroFrameworkPK_v4_1\Solutions\EA_LPC2478\DeviceCode\Interop\, is this right?

"put the OpenLabs.NETMF.Hardware.LCD.featureproj Framework\Features\ folder"
C:\MicroFrameworkPK_v4_1\Framework\Features\, right?

"then add the OpenLabs.NETMF.Hardware.LCD feature to the netduino solution via the Solution Wizard."
Microsoft .NET Micro Framework Porting Kit v4.1 > Solution Wizard - Netduino, right?

"recompile firmware and download."
I tried to find information how to compile the firmware, but I got very confused. Is this the way to go?
Building a custom version of the .NET Micro Framework for a device emulator
Looks very complicated just to get something to build.

Where to download the compilation?


"Run the demo application to see a simple starfield on your display."
I have already ran a blinking led demo, so I think I'm able to do this one.


Thank you
